We introduce the rider to the basics of horsemanship and riding. The basics reviewed in the evaluation lesson will provide the foundation for the rider’s future progression plan. The Instructor will advise the rider with a suitable horse and instructor for reoccurring lessons.

Working Students are required to take 2 weekly riding lessons with Emily. When selecting weeks please select the "Working Student Group Lesson" and choose the number of lessons you would like your child to participate in.

Both students and guardians understand this is a working program and if students do not follow policies and procedures, there will be a meeting with the parents and Emily to discuss goals and if the working student program is the right fit right now for the student. IF THERE ARE EVER ISSUES OF SAFETY STUDENTS CAN BE EXPELLED FROM THE WORKING STUDENT PROGRAM. This is for high level, advanced riders only and all students must represent Sweet Meadow Farm appropriately both on the farm and off. Problems will be discussed on a case by case basis.

Working students are our student leaders and there will be times that they will work with an instructor and a group of students in programs and camps. Students must be able to assist less experienced equestrians and conduct themselves in a professional manner. When there is a lesson in process and they are shadowing Emily, there will be no disturbing another student’s riding time. They are there to learn and take example. Interruptions to report back to Emily must be done in a quiet and appropriate manner.

Working students must bring their own lunch/snacks every day. It will be $5.00 cost per day if Sweet Meadow Farm provides lunch for working students. This needs to be prepaid.

The working student program is an introduction to horse care, farm management, equestrian training and competing. Students will learn as they go in an internship type manner and need to work together as a team. Any misconduct between the group will not be tolerated. The working students are all equally the head trainer’s right hand for their time here and will be treated as equal. They are all here to help and hold each other up.

STUDENTS AND GUARDIANS UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL BE TIMES THAT STUDENTS WILL BE UNATTENDED AROUND THE HORSES. Students will never be left for a long period of time or ever asked to anything unsafe, although guardians must understand the inherent risk of working around equines. This is a program for only the most advanced riders and if your child has been invited that means that under Emily’s guidance they have been deemed by the entire upper management at Sweet Meadow Farm to be knowledgeable and experienced enough to act as a working student. No child will be invited to this program that is not ready. Younger students will be accompanied by an older working student or an instructor at all times. Older students will be allowed more independence as they advance on a case by case basis.

They will help load the horses, clean them for the show, tack up and support the instructors and fellow riders competing.
